New Orleans Picayune, Aug. 18TH
The story of how The Louisiana State
Lottery Company deals out fortunes
every month is known far and near.
Chances in the drawings are eagerly
taken by all classes. How many per-
sons have been suddenly made rich by
this institution would be hard to tell
the number would almost seem IN
credible. It can be safely said, how
ever, that residents of every State in
the Union have profted by it. One of
the many made happy By the last draw
ing was w. IL. ANTHONY, a dairyman
of Houston, Tex, who held one-t tenth
of No. 20.255, which drew the capital
prize of $150,oo0, collected by Wells.
Forge & Co.'S, Express through the
firm of L w. House of Houston.
The other tenth of this ticket was
held by Mr.. George H. Zapp of the
same place. This gentleman, accom-
panied by his son, arrived in the city
Wednesday night, and on presenting
his ticket at the company's Office the
following morning was handed a check
on the New Orleans National Bank.
He was greatly in need of the money.
and on the receipt of the news of his
good luck he fairly wept with joy.
Mr.. Zapp is a native of Germany, but
for the past eight years has made his
home in Houston where he has been
clerking in cotton press. He is q
large, fine looking man, 55 years of
age, and has wife and three children.
He has not decided what use he viii
make of his newly found fortune, but
will look out for some profitable way
of investing it, Mr.. Zapp mas visited
New Orleans before and will remain
here several days to renew old &C
quaitances.
Apropos of Mr.. Zapp's visit to this
city it might be mentioned that his
| nephew. Mr.. Orsini Zapp, of Round
Top, Texas, came here on similar er-
rand in May, 1885. He was also the
winner of $4,000. The money he put
| out in lard and stock in Fayette county,
Texas. To-day he is one of the NEST
prominent farmers in that section OF
the country, and is blessed with a
happy family and has all the comforts
Of life. An investment of 81 in The
Louisiana State Lottery started him on
the road to prosperity,

THE DYING EDITOR.

The owner OF paper lay dying In mis- lalr,
And the dew Of death had gathered on his
brow 60 calm and fair;
But q printer knelt beside him, as his life
blood ebbed away,
And asked the dying writer II he had word
to say.
The doomed man murmured softly as he
grabbed the printers fist;
"Well, at last the struggles over, and, never
will be missed;
Take a message and token to that city ma
OF mine,.
That all his WORKOUT chestnuts he had better
put In brine.
There's his joke about the weather, whici
he's used thesa many years,
And the gag about the fellow that is alwa,
hunting beers.
And the item he's SO ford Of, on the man tha
peddles books.
.sJust to save the papers credit, and to cas-
no slurs on mine,
I would ask him as favor just to put sue
gags in brine.
And the lie he's fond of telling, OF the stree
ears and the tracks,
And the ancient joke about the man who steps
upon some tacks.
"And the one about some dandy who will
never pay for clothes,
And the one on women-it's weary, heaven
knows!
Oh, know p,l slumber happy In my grave be-
meath the vine,
II the man that does the city work will put
these in brine.

But 10 simply print an item saying that nay

For vaat no eulogistic tatfy Of that kind in

And think such hoary chestnuts should be

SHAVE that gay and fresh reporter engaged

And II he should say, 'ye local. you must

A DREAM oF FAIR OCCASION.

In the darkening shades OF twilight,
ASH wandered. sore distraught,
Cries and woes of days departed
surged ur hidden on my though;
JOYS aud sorrows intermtngled
In the memories of the past,
Fair occasions, lost and vanished
All to beautiful too last.
Suddenly between my vision
And the luIil setting sun,

oimly rising one by one.
But though tiimy, vague and shapeless,
Loose and thin ard underlined,
Gathering form and seeming substance
In the rushing of the wind.
Gradually ir human femblance,
Draped In robes of trailing mist,

Silently they fitted past me,
Each with warning hand appraised,

MORTON'S RAGE.

He Uses a clamp for Weapon and
Sets Woman on Fire.
Last night George Morton visited the
house Of Minnie johnson, a pretty octo-
room, located on South Laredo street.
He was taking supper when a colored
barber, named Williams, pulled hand
kerchief from his pocket. Minnie
snatched IL instantly and threw it into
the stove where 1t burned. Morton re-
marked that 1t would not do to serve
him SO, when Minnie boisted one of her
pedal extremities and planted it in the
bosom OF his pants. This enraged Nor
ton who picked up a lamp and either
struck her or attempted to dc so. when
IL exploded and the burning fluid
was scattered over the unfortunate
woman whose clothing " as Immediate
ly fired. The flames were extinguished
but not before Minnie was horribly
burned. DR.. Msnger was called and
found she had been burned badly on the
entire face, neck arms and there are two
large wounds on the front OF the head.
The face too is badly swollen. This
morning she is doing well but may
lose her hands from gangrene, or
lOck-jsw may end her life.
The wounds lead to the inference that
